That's right, were back and ready for a new year of fun and giving Hufflepuffs loads of Hufflepuff-ish information!

We are now accepting new submissions for the first issue of the year. The WT staff wanted to revamp this years WT issues and bring it back to the way it used to be. We want the issues to be more Hufflepuff centered. Does that mean everything has to be Hufflepuff orientated? No, but we do want to focus on our House let others see what we're all about.

So in that, we have come up with some possible ideas that you can contribute when sending in your submissions.

Articles ideas:

Quidditch Article + IRC Conversations - one can employ that technique (using IRC) or do a Quidditch article or both.Article Dialogue Style - This is kind of a short story having conversations between two or more characters, could be Hufflepuffs.Huffie Adventures in the Sett - The topic is about any adventures in the Sett.Article on a Life of a Hufflepuff Teacher - This one is a personal topic involving some Hufflepuff.Hufflepuff Philosophy - Ideas that we get to learn in HufflepuffHufflepuff Gossip - Light issues and stuff in the Sett.Interview: Love Potions - Interview of someone regarding a specific topicLove Doctor Advices - Advices on loveWeird Wizarding Dilemmas - Advices on anything, weird, funny thingsHoroscopes - astrology stuff

This year we are bringing back this section of the WT! Many of the other newspapers have an extra section that can be more creative in nature. The staff decided that the Times needs this as well, with a Hufflepuff twist.
